DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis announced AlphaGenome Atlas, the successor to AlphaFold that charts the human genome instead of proteins.
The AI-powered searchable database maps the predicted impact of all 9 billion possible single-letter DNA changes, helping researchers better understand biology and disease. It is freely available for academic research, with an official thread detailing how researchers can use it.
